nature

society

shells

networks

pleasure

financial

manifestation


Posit choices a b c d etc.

Rank each as what it means to you one to ten

Totals should indicate what you really can go with or suggest a compromise or some other solution.

+

a b and c etc. are possibilities or choices

Me etc. are the signs that you rate in terms of your impression of the effect of a choice

Sometimes the choice among options will be obvious just by creating the grid. Sometimes the totals for each option will result in a close set of results. Sometimes the process will reveal what you actually think but did not realize.

The first five terms are derived from the Ekistic Grid of C. A. Doxiadis. The remainder were added when I transferred this from being a mode of city planning to a mode of personal decision-making.

EXAMPLE

Choice of what to do this weekend.  A. Stay home B. See folks D. Get together with --

Rating each choice to each sign - Me might be  7  5  6
Each other sign would suggest various totals
Eventually a choice would emerge - whichever option had the highest total.

We Need To Make Geography Irrelevant

We need the President to say that the high speed internet grid is going to make geography irrelevant and enable people to put down roots anywhere they wish and still earn a living. This will create a massive recalibration and open the door to the creation of new human settlements. Modeled on pattern language principles. We need a realistic notion of work at home, not the current proliferation of network marketing, MLM schemes.
